Ayana is joined by Chief Caleen Sisk, spiritual leader of the Winnemem Wintu Tribe of Northern California, to explore how the forces of industrial society have attempted to tame and exploit living waters, and how these Indigenous stewards are facing the subsequent ecological predicament. Upon learning that the extinct Chinook salmon of her territories had survived a world away in New Zealand, Caleen has led an unprecedented effort with Maori and federal fish biologists to return Chinook to the McCloud River watershed in California.
